Description
This Spaghetti Pie is the ultimate comfort-bake, featuring a tender spaghetti base mixed with eggs and cheese, topped with rich meat sauce and melted mozzarella.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz spaghetti
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- ½ cup grated Parmesan
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 (24 oz) jar marinara sauce (no wine added)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1–1½ cups mozzarella cheese (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook spaghetti according to package directions, then drain well.
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs, mozzarella, Parmesan, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Add spaghetti and mix until coated. Press this mixture into a greased pie dish to form a “crust.”
- In a skillet, cook ground beef with onion until browned. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in marinara, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Spoon meat sauce over the spaghetti crust.
- Top with mozzarella.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until bubbly and cheese is fully melted.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Drain spaghetti well so the crust sets properly. Use full-fat mozzarella for the best melt. Letting the pie rest helps slices stay clean. Add red pepper flakes to the sauce for spice.
